Note that in your likelihood function, N can be a vector of values, so you can compute the likelihood for all values of N and just access the value you want via subscripting rather than repeatedly computing it for different N's.
OK -- that is the part I'm stuck at - pointers to how to do precisely that appreciated (I don't use R a lot -- and it shows ;-)
